Champ d'Or Estate

 house  Add category

This Denton County, Tex., mansion is owned by Alan Goldfield, retired chairman and chief executive of CellStar, and his wife, Shirley Goldfield. "Champ d'Or", (French for 'Field of Gold'), as it is called, is 48,000 square feet and has a tearoom, garden room, ballroom and mini-theater. Rumor has it that the Goldfields decided to sell after a fight over who would get up from bed and trek to the kitchen to get some ice cream. (Shirley reportedly disputes that, saying instead they didn't need a showcase mansion for entertaining any longer.)
Here is where you can see a slide show that shows two pics of the mansion, which is considered to be one of the most expensive homes in America. The website also shows a few other very expensive properties.
